Definitions
- the present invention relates to the fields of metal complex melts, of metal complex melts used as redox couples in to optoelectronic and/or electrochemical device comprising metal complex melts, and a method of producing said metal complex melts.
- Melts refer to metals or other materials in a liquid condition having a melting point below 100°C.
- Redox metal complex melts are different from ionic liquids generally referring to salts having an organic component and that have a melting point below 100 °C.
- Ionic liquids are often based on PF 6 - , BF 4 - , [B(CN) 4 ] - , CF3SO 3 - , [(CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 N] - (TFSI), AlCl 3 etc., and various salts of n-alkyl pyridinium halide or organic salts, in particular of pyridinium type, imidazolium type, quarternary ammonium salt type and they are used for catalysis, synthesis, in lithium battery, in fuel cell and solar cell as electrolytes or solvent ( WO2009/083901 A1 ) as well as solvent for metal complexes ( US 20040097755 A1 ).
- HC hole conductor
- Electrolytes containing redox organometallic systems or redox metal complex couples are commonly used as HCs due to their high reliability, good power conversion efficiency (PCE) and their non-corrosiveness and stability compared to the I - /I 3 - couple.
- PCE power conversion efficiency
- Redox mediators play a major role determining the photocurrent and the photovoltage in DSCs. To maintain the photocurrent, the reduction of oxidized dye by the redox mediator should be significantly faster than the electron back transfer between TiO 2 and the oxidized dye.
- the driving force for dye regeneration with the redox mediator should be sufficiently low to provide high photovoltages.
- Some metal complex redox couples do not exhibit a high over-potential for dye regeneration, provide a relatively high or increased open circuit potential (V OC ) and have high oxidation potential and/or adjustable oxidation potential.
- redox metal complexes or redox mediators or redox shuttle include copper complexes, e.g. bis(1,10-phenanthroline)copper ([Cu(phen) 2 ] 2+/+ ), [(-)-sparteine- N , N' ]-(maleonitriledithiolato- S , S' )copper ([Cu(SP)(mmt)] 0/- ) and bis(2,9-dimethyl-1,10 - phenanthroline)copper ([Cu(dmp) 2 ] 2+/+ ) dissolved in a solvent, have been demonstrated as fastest electron-transfer mediators of electrolytes for solar-to-electricity conversion in DSCs.
- copper complexes e.g. bis(1,10-phenanthroline)copper ([Cu(phen) 2 ] 2+/+ ), [(-)-sparteine- N , N' ]-(maleonitriledithiolato- S ,
- [Cu(dmp) 2 ] 2+/+ exhibits the fastest electron self-exchange rate and provides a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.2% at a light intensity of 200 W/m 2 up to 10% under air mass 1.5 global (AM1.5G) irradiation intensity of 1,000 W/m 2 with novel organic dye molecules in DSCs.
- [Cu(dmp) 2 ] 2+/+ complexes were recently used as HTMs for over 8% solid-state DSCs (ssDSCs) ( Freitag et al., High-efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells with molecular copper dimethyl phenanthroline as solid hole conductor. Energy Environ. Sci. 8, 2634-2637 (2015 )), mainly because of the rapid electron self-exchange rate in copper complexes, However, such copper complexes based HTM can form crystalline phases, deteriorating the device performance.

Overnight stirring at room temperature afforded the formation of a red solid that was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum. The intermediate, Copper(I) bis(4,4',6,6'-tetramethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) hexafluorophosphate (compound (1)) was collected as a red crystalline solid 429 mg (84 %).
- the 6.5 ⁇ m-thick mesoporous TiO 2 films (3.5 ⁇ m transparent layer + 4.0 ⁇ m light scattering layer) were immersed in 100 ⁇ M Y123 solution in acetonitril/tert-butanol (v/v, 1/1) for 16 h to graft the dye molecules onto the TiO 2 surface.
- the counter electrodes consisted of PEDOT films electrochemically deposited on FTO glass.
- the dye-coated TiO 2 working electrode and the counter electrode were assembled by using thermoplastic spacer (Surlyn, DuPont) heating at 120°C. Electrolytes were injected into the space between the electrodes through predrilled hole on the counter electrode.
- the Electrolyte I contains 0.25 M [Cu(tmbe) 2 ]TFSI complex melt, 0.05M NOBF 4 , 0.1 M LiTFSI and 0.6 M 4-tert-butylpyridine (TBP) in acetonitrile.
- the NOBF 4 oxidizes the copper(I) complex melt to [Cu(tmbe) 2 ](TFSI) 2 melt in-situ.
- the Electrolyte II contains 0.25 M [Cu(4,4',6,6'-tetramethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) 2 ](2-(2,5,8,11-tetraoxadodecanoyl)benzamide sulfonate), 0.05 M [Cu(4,4',6,6'-tetramethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) 2 ](2-(2,5,8,11-tetraoxadodecanoyl)benzamide sulfonate)) 2 , 0.6 M 4-tert-butylpyridine (TBP) and 0.1 M LiTFSI in acetonitrile.
- TBP 4-tert-butylpyridine
- LiTFSI LiTFSI in acetonitrile.
- the electrolyte III contains [Cu(4,4'-bis(2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)-6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) 2 ](TFSI), [Cu(4,4'-bis(2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)-6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) 2 (TFSI) 2 in a 5:1 molar ratio respectively, 0.6 M 4-tert-butylpyridine (TBP) and 0.1 M LiTFSI without any solvent.
- Solar cells were used without antireflection films and masked to an aperture area of 0.158 cm 2 for J-V and IPCE characterizations. J-V characteristics were recorded by a Keithley 2400 source meter. The solar cells were measured under irradiation intensity of 1,000 W/m 2 provided by a 450 W Xenon lamp of the Oriel solar simulator. The Oriel is equipped with a SchottK113 Tempax sunlight filter (Praezisions Glas & OptikGmbH) to match the emission spectrum of the lamp to the AM1.5G standard. The light intensity was determined using a calibrated Si reference diode equipped with an infrared cutoff filter (KG-3, Schott).
- IPCE spectra were measured with a lock-in amplifier (Stanford Research System SR830 DSP) under chopped monochromatic light (2 Hz) generated by white light source from a 300 W xenon lamp passing through a Gemini-180 double monochromator (Jobin Yvon Ltd).
- the solar cell is illuminated under a constant white light bias with intensity of 50 W/m 2 supplied by an array of white light emitting diodes.
- UV / Vis spectroscopy UV / Vis spectroscopy, steady-state photoluminescence spectroscopy, and TCSPC
- UVNis absorption data was collected by a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 950 spectrophotometer and the extinction coefficients were calculated using the Beer-Lambert law.
- Steady-state photoluminescence spectra were recorded by exciting the samples at 450 nm with a 450-W Xenon CW lamp. The signal was recorded with a spectrofluorometer (Fluorolog; Horiba Jobin Yvon Technology FL1065).
- TSCPC time-correlated single photon counting
- the initial and un-optimized device photovoltaic parameters of devices fabricated with solvent free copper redox melt electrolyte in combination with Y123 dye is shown in Table 3.
- the device performance will be enhanced by designing small size copper redox melts and decreasing the viscosity of the redox electrolytes.
- To increase the device performance it is necessary to optimize the pore size of the TiO 2 to facilitate the diffusion of viscous redox melt electrolyte into the TiO 2 pores. It is important to use solvent free electrolyte in DSC to avoid the leakage of electrolyte from the device and enhance the durability of devices.
